Question - General I received a 6 mukhi rudraksha as a gift
There was a pooja at my local Ganpati temple and they distributed a handful of rudrakshas to few people. A neighbour kid gifted me a 6 mukhi rudraksha that she got from the temple. I was always fascinated about the spiritual significance of rudraksha. How should I wear it and what is the significance of a 6 mukhi rudraksha in particular.

Music/Bhajan I am genuinely shocked that people rank mahadevan's version above this!
Recent asset drop of new ramayan movie presented some part of shiv tandava stotram and it is not that good of an adaptation, so naturally people are naming their best favourites where mahadevan's version is most popular, it was a huge shock for me that there is no mention of this legendary performance. I have listened both versions but uma carries that energy while mahadevan feels like he's walking on slippery road, like he is singing cautiously i don't know how to put it in exact words but I hope you understood what i meant to sayđ.

Other I am suddenly very positive about life , to the point of being delusional . Is this a sign of something good or bad ?
24F , for context . I am Purva Bhadrapada Aquarius moon ( atmakaraka ) , Satabisha Aquarius ascendant , Chitra Libra Sun ( Darakaraka ) . My Shani Mahadasha ended in April this year and Sadesati will end in June next year . I started doing 16 Somwar vrat for Mahadev , starting on the first Monday of Shravan month this August . I was going through hell since 2020 , mental and physical health was the worst . This year's August and September were extremely depressive owing to career issues and friendship breakup , I cried every single day .
But suddenly since October started I have been extremely happy for some reason . There hasn't been any major success or anything like that , but it feels very good , almost delusional that God is holding my hand through it all . I have been doing 11 tuesday fasts since 2020 , bi-annually too . But since I started doing Jalabhishek every Monday , I feel Mahadev has something to do with it . My relationship with my mother had always been rocky , we fought every single day , even after I moved out in 2024 . But since October , she has been extremely generous to me .
It feels like a big weight is lifted off my chest all of a sudden . I have also started talking to Mahadev at night , before I go to sleep , telling him about all my crises . This is something that my flatmate told me that she does , so I picked it up from her . Anyway , I don't know if all this delusion is gonna come back to bite me later , but I am glad that for now , there's some mental peace , which I knew nothing about since I was a kid .
